161:, interest is calculated and paid at set intervals (for instance annually or semi-annually). However ownership of bonds/loans can be transferred between different investors at any time, not just on an interest payment date. After such a transfer, the new owner will usually receive the next interest payment, but the previous owner must be compensated for the period of time for which he or she owned the bond. In other words, the previous owner must be paid the interest that accrued before the sale. This is generally done in one of two ways, depending on market convention: 27: 215:. This enables the accrued interest to be included in the lender's balance sheet as an asset (and in the borrower's balance sheet as a provision or liability).

That adjustment is not made, but the value of the interest to be accrued is simply reflected in a lower quoted sale price.

That adjustment is not made, but the value of the accrued interest is simply reflected in a higher quoted sale price.
